독자성과 융화성: 인간 실존의 근원적인 두 차원 = Agency and Communion: Two Fundamental Dimensions of Human Existence

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A considerable amount of attention has been paid to the concepts of agency and communion over the past few decades overseas, as reflected in three special issues in academic journals. However, these concepts are barely introduced to the psychology literature in Korea. In the present article, we presented an organized overview of the so-called "Big Two" which has triggered research on various topics across different fields of studies. First, we introduced different measurements to assess agency and communion. We then explained how these two are related to mental health, physical health, and social relationships. In doing so, we organized studies depending on whether they included the concept of unmitigation. Next, we reviewed narrative studies and how agency and communion themes in narratives are related to psychological well-being. We also detailed the dual perspective model of agency and communion, an approach based on social cognition research. This model uses the two concepts to explain the actor-observer discrepancy in social interactions. Finally, we summarized studies done in Korea about agency and communion, and discussed the future directions of research.

국문 초록 (Abstract)

독자성과 융화성은 최근 10년 동안 3개의 학술지에서 관련 특집호가 출간되는 등 해외에서는 많은 관심을 받고 있는 주제이나, 국내에서는 그 개념조차 제대로 소개가 되지 않은 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 Big Two라 불리며 다양한 주제의 연구를 양산해 온 이 두 개념에 관련된 연구를 체계적으로 개관하였다. 먼저, 독자성과 융화성이 어떤 도구를 이용하여 측정되었는지 소개하였다. 다음으로, 독자성과 융화성이 정신 및 신체적 건강, 사회적 관계와 어떤 관련이 있는지 경직성이라는 개념이 포함된 연구와 포함되지 않은 연구를 구분하여 정리하였다. 또 독자성과 융화성 연구의 또 다른 형태인 내러티브 연구에 대한 설명과 관련 연구 결과들을 살펴보았다. 특히, 내러티브 연구는 독자성과 융화성 간의 통합이 사람들의 심리적 발달에 영향을 미친다는 점을 시사하고 있다. 최근에는 독자성과 융화성을 개인차 변인이 아닌 사회인지적 측면에서 접근하는 이중관점 모델이 대두되었는데, 이는 사회적 정보처리의 모든 과정에서 나타나는 행위자와 관찰자 사이의 관점 차이를 독자성과 융화성 개념과 연결 지어 설명한 것으로서 본 논문에서는 이에 대한 설명과 관련 연구들도 함께 개관하였다. 마지막으로, 독자성과 융화성에 관한 국내 연구 현황을 요약하고, 향후 연구 과제에 대해 논의하였다.
